Welcome to Spanish Fork High School

The Spanish Fork Dons won their fourth consecutive region golf meet last week. This time it was at Hobble Creek golf course that they had their success. Elliot Naulu led his team with a 77. Bryce Whitaker followed that with 78. Dave Madsen shot 80 and Brennin Orr shot 83. Kelby McMullin of Springville had the best score of the day, 76. The win gives the Dons a comfortable cushion in the overall region standings with just two matches remaining. They lead Salem Hills, Uintah, and Maple Mountain, respectively. The individual race is a bit tighter.

Many people don’t know the real meaning of the Star-Spangled Banner or where it came from. It was originally brought on by the War of 1812 during the heated night of bombing. British Soldiers had captured Francis Scott Key aboard a truce ship. While he was waiting for the signal of our American flag, meaning we had won the battle and were that much closer to winning the war, he wrote a poem to the tune of a British Sailor melody. For Spanish Fork’s exciting Homecoming Game, Randi Miller had the wonderful opportunity of singing our beautiful country’s patriotic song.

On September, 13th, 2010, Spanish Fork High School held Ashi-Baba try outs. The first idea that comes to mind when we say try outs for this is what is Ashi-Baba? And where does it come from? It goes back to when a local restaurant owner visited a Spanish Fork High School assembly in 1972 and yelled “Ashi-Baba” and got the crowd yelling back, “Hey, Hey” just in an attempt to get people to feel pumped and get involved.

Students at Spanish Fork High School represented the school well at this year’s Utah State Fair. Spanish Fork FFA especially has a lot to be proud of: Grand Champions, class winners, well ran booths and activities, as well as good projects in general. Spanish Fork really looked good, and it’s all thanks to the hard work of students at Spanish Fork High School. The livestock portion of the fair alone looked awesome in the eyes of those rooting for Spanish Fork. Kayden Worthington’s swine project looked great.
